Now, in Spell Bound, she brings them all together for her most sweeping tale yet.Savannah Levine is in terrible danger, and for once she's powerless to help herself. At the heartbreaking conclusion of Waking the Witch, Savannah swore that she would give up her powers if it would prevent further pain for a young orphan.

The threat is not just for Savannah; every member of the Otherworld might be at risk. While most of her fellow supernaturals are circling the wagons at a gathering of the council in Miami, Savannah is caught on the road, isolated from those who can protect her and unable to use her vast spell-casting talent, the thing she counts on most. In a story that will change the shape of the Otherworld forever, Armstrong gathers Elena, Clay, Paige, Lucas, Jamie, Hope, and other beloved characters, who soon learn that the greatest threat to supernaturals just may come from within.

"This was the perfect penultimate book for this series. It brought all the characters together in a way that didn't feel contrived, yet still managed to tell Savannah's story without it getting muddled by the others. While it does leave quite a bit left for the final book to resolve, there was no horrible cliffhanger for the reader to suffer through while waiting for the next book. I don't recommend reading it without having read the previous books in the series, since it makes reference to many of them. If I have one complaint, it's that I'll probably have to wait at least a year until the final book comes out!"

" Kelley Armstrong is amazing! This book is centered around Savannah Levine. It has been great "watching" her grow up in this series. The twists and turns in the plot will keep you guessing. Johanna Parker is one of my favorite narrators. "
— Dana, 9/8/2016" Despite being the twelfth in a series of thirteen, Spell Bound suffers from middle-book syndrome. Still a good read, but not up there with my absolute favourites like most of the rest of Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld novels are. I'm still desperately looking forward to Thirteen, though! "
— Lucy, 1/3/2014" I love most of the Women of the Otherworld, but I have alwas felt Savannah was an annoying immature brat. This book did nothing to eliminate that thought. However, it was nice to see some of the other characters "
— Christine, 12/24/2013" this current book in the long running series lived up to armstrongs reputation. my only issue with it is it seemed rather short in comparrison to her others. one of the best authors i have read for this genre. "
— Burb, 12/14/2013" I'm not as big a fan of Savannah as say, the Elena character....it was ok---the story moved along as most do in the Otherworld books. Still fun to read, but not my favorite in this series. "
— Anne, 10/28/2013" Really liked this one! It was really clean with not a lot of language, if any. A small cliffhangar at the end but I can deal until the next one! "
— Jody, 10/2/2013" Damn this cliff hanger ending! I'm totally addicted to Savannah's story & could have used another 100-150 pages to tide me over until I can get my hands on Thirteen! Can't wait to see how this wraps up. "
— Jenna, 9/25/2013" KELLEY WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT CONSTITUTES AN "ENDING" "
— Rawles, 9/16/2013" I am reading Spell Bound again before reading Thirteen. I love Savannah, even if I do want to shake her by the scruff of her neck once in a while. Armstrong does a good job of beginning the thankless task of tying up (and together) the story lines we have all grown to love. Bring on Thirteen. "
— Dr, 4/2/2013" Well!! What can I say? Another great book but I'm no further forward! All the fab characters fighting against a supernatural enemy "
— Elayne, 3/31/2013" I adore Kelley Armstrongs style of writing xx "
— Janet, 3/5/2013" gee whiz! i really wanted to love this book, but the cliffhanger at the end? meh. "
— Emily, 11/28/2012" Fantastic !!! Loved every bit of it.... and of course it left me hanging out for more... hope the next book comes out fast.... "
— Kat, 5/17/2012" This sees savannah powerless and trying to cope as a 'human' whilst doing a couple of investigating jobs with Adam. Halfway through she has a (helped) epiphany that she may just love Adam (um, duh!) and spend time trying to fix the relationship just when the action starts. "
— Belinda, 1/19/2012" Aaargh! Not really a stand alone book. Mostly just lead up to the next book. Nothing really gets resolved and now I have to wait for the next book to come out! "
— Trina, 11/1/2011" Not as good as the previous books. I am still glad I read it as I love this serious and would never pass up a entry in it. "
— Barb, 10/31/2011" this ending... i cant wait for the next one. "
— Virginia, 10/24/2011" Really liked this one! It was really clean with not a lot of language, if any. A small cliffhangar at the end but I can deal until the next one! "
— Jody, 10/15/2011" I love this series. Always a good mystery, interesting characters and an exciting storyline! "
— Elisabeth, 10/9/2011" i liked the storyline but i hate how the ending was "unfinished". "
— Mairi, 10/4/2011" 3.5 Stars<br/><br/>Excellent reading but i expected a climax towards the middle of the book but then it turn into a whole new chapter. "
— Dianne, 10/3/2011" I love this series....but I hate a biomass between Feiffer books to get to a final book! Don'r be a hater I didn't like "The Empire Strikes Back" either! "
— Ed, 10/1/2011" Great story, feels like the whole series arc is wrapping up. Getting the strange feeling that all the other characters in the series have been examples for Savannah to learn from. Really fun to see this character learn so much in one book. Can't wait for the next (last!) book in the series. "
— Bgirolimon, 9/29/2011" A wonderful book. Kelley Armstrong does a fantastic job, again. I would recommend reading the other books first as this works more like a sequel than some of her other Women of the Otherworld books. "
— Mags, 9/22/2011" Savannah has to grow up in this Otherworld book. Yay! Its about time. I enjoyed the author's inclusion of some of her old fav characters but nothing can compare to the excitement of those first few books with Elena and Clay! "
